About Janet

Dr. Janet Dean brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to her practice in Kentucky, helping people navigate concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with a client-centered stance, aiming to create a respectful, collaborative atmosphere where practical strategies meet personal values. Her work also addresses career struggles, compassion fatigue, mood disorders, and concerns related to sexual identity and LGBT matters.

Trained at The Ohio State University, Dr. Dean balances clinical work with an academic role teaching psychology and mentoring graduate students.

Her research has explored sexual identity and faith, counselor self-care, and links between faith and mental health, resulting in multiple publications and a book. She emphasizes helping clients become more comfortable with themselves, build stronger relationships, and discover meaningful life direction.

Dr. Dean is licensed in Kentucky (KY Psychologist 129393) and offers care in English through a variety of online session formats.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Dean commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and feelings, which can be especially helpful for issues like identity, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive-behavioral therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Dean collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She combines relational warmth with skill-building techniques and adjusts methods over time based on goals, progress, and individual preferences so clients help shape their care plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around work and family commitments, provide options for different communication styles, and make it possible to continue regular sessions from wherever the client is located in Kentucky. Licensed professionals can use these tools to maintain continuity of care while tailoring timing and format to the client’s needs.
